Author's comments:
Okay, here we go with this speedrun. I will first and foremost give out a SPOILER WARNING! In watching this speedrun you will probably have the whole plot of this game (which is really awesome), spoiled, and that would be really sad since it's such a great one. I really recommend playing through this game at least once before watching this video.

For the people I'd like to thank, that would be myself, Juncti for verifying the run, and Lord_Revan for discussing tactics with, also 100% kudos to Radix, for having the best site on the web, and even bringing the thought of speedrunning a game myself to my head. And also to everyone else that deserves a thanks, but that I forgot about.

Overall Tricks
When you see me not leveling up when I could, that's because you will get full health when you have picked your stats and skills, so I'm basicly saving the leveling up until I'm really low on health to save a medkit aswell as the time it takes to use the medkit.

Using the Force Power Burst Of Speed is naturally the best way to run, only that in some instances your team will get stuck and stuff like that, really annoying. Especially at the end of a long segment. That is why I run solo as much as I can.

Mistakes

00 - General

This run is overall very lagging, this is even when played on the X-Box, don't know why, but there's not much to do about it, it's not because I'm recording or my computer is slow.

When I'm pausing, I'm doing it to be able to target enemies easier and faster than with the camera moving/stuff lagging.

If you see me walk with the camera facing my team so I don't see where I'm running, or just stopping and looking behind me, the reason for this is the stupidness of my team, I have to wait for them to transfer to the next area and they get stuck alot in the places where you can see I'm really careful.

And also, when you see me going after enemies that are a bit away from the path I should take, it's because my "friends" are most likley to go after that enemy and try to kill it. And since they suck they will not do that very swiftly.

I should've used alot more grenades on the enemies in the beginning when hitting them with melee weapons is hard due to low attack rating at this stage.

Some of the leveling up done in the first segment especially, could've gone a second or two faster.

01 - Taris
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
I use 5 spikes to electrocute the soldiers inside, and at the end of the game, I end up about 5 spikes short for the droid disabling puzzle. Kinda goofy of me but I wanted to save time with those soldiers so I used the spikes to hack the computer.

I run and talk to the guard to get the quest of getting the armor started, this I later found out I don't need to do, so in an updated run I will just go get the armor and not talk to the guard. Should save about 45secs.

When fighting the Gamorrean Elites to free Zaalbar, only Carth survives, but since he kills that last guard pretty fast I thought it turned out okey anyways.

At the place where Mission has to open the door I kinda mess up when switching players, which is noticable.

After I've gone to Upper Sewers, the characters in my team that I don't control, are alot likley to go off fighting monsters and walk incorrectly, so I have to be careful. Also they block my way after killing the Rancor.

After I've taken the generator, you see me trying to equip an armor too close after a battle, which isnt allowed, so I have to open the equip menu once again a bit afterwards, makes me loose about 4-5 seconds or so overall.

Fight with Brejik is extremely long, wish I had greater accuracy here, or a couple of grenades.

After I've gotten Bastilla in my team, I go to the Workbench to try and upgrade my weapon, but I forgot that I didn't have any parts for it, only for guns, which I don't use so I waste a couple of seconds there.

Fights with Assault Droid and Sith Governor goes pretty okey, they do take some time, but considering my low level here they are pretty good, I don't know how many times I redid those fights, but it was alot.

When talking to Canderous in the bar I kinda mess up and pick the wrong answer, and after that I run past him and panicked.
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
02 - Dantooine
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
After fighting Juunai, when you gotta pick the correct answers to get her back to the academy, I make a mistake the first time, and then I save to practise the combination, this makes me lose about 10 seconds.

When I'm going to investigate the tombs, I forget to take Bastilla's weapon, so in the third segment, I have to bring her out with me to take it, and then I have to put her back to go solo, about 10 seconds here aswell.

After I used the second console with the questions, you will see me get petrified (or something similiar), so I can't move, the guarding robot does it twice for me, which isn't too much, since he usually does it permanently, but still it's not perfect.

03 - Manaan
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
When going out from the Sith Base, the door closes on me after I've opened it, strange, not my fault really.

Down in the Kolto Factory, when I'm trying to open the locker where I get the Sonic Emitter, It doesen't open, so I have to open it again which is kinda messy as you can see.

When I'm in the depressurization pit, somehow my character dosn't want to hit the wall there at one point, but it's really short.

When I get up with the Submersible, and talk to Roland Wann, I was expecting the info box with the experience and stuff to come up sooner, and since it didn't I panicked and clicked him again, which led to a bit of a conversation, while all I had to do was wait half a second.

04 - Korriban
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
When I'm talking to Yuthura Ban once inside of the Sith Academy, I get the quest to betray Uthar Wynn, but what I don't do here is talk to her again to hear about the Sith Code, which is needed to get prestige from Uthar Wynn so that I can get to the final tomb. Which means that I have to return to her and talk to her a bit later, which makes me lose about 45 seconds.

In the tomb of Ajunta Pall, when I'm heading out and I'm facing Shaardan, I accidently let him go by pressing the wrong button, which gives me less prestige from Uthar Wynn. Though it gives me a cool scene where Uthar Wynn chokes Shaardan to death.

After the fight with Jorak Uln, when I'm fighting Mekel, the fight goes really bad, I get stunned and everything, though overall that try was one of the best ones. Lots of retakes on this one.

In the last tomb, when I'm going into the room with the poison pool, one of the Wraid's accidently gets stuck in there when the door closes, which includes him in the fight with Yuthura Ban and Uthar Wynn, but he only takes one strike to kill, so it turned out fine.

When I'm heading back into the Sith Base, the fight with Darth Bandon is supposed to take place (after the second planet you visited), but somehow here it doesn't, but since I would've fled from him anyways it almost turned out the same, I still have to face him on Tatooine.
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
05 - Tatooine
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
Sand People Base, this is probably the messiest part of the whole run, really laggy, and it's really tough when you're on level 11.

I run out of medkits at the fight with the Elite Warriors when I'm trying to get the Banthas to the cave, but luckily I survive everything.
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
06 - Leviathan
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
When I've gotten my equipment back, I prepare to walk out of there, and I save, but I forgot to pick up some good stuff that will save time later, so I have to walk back and get it, this takes about 5 seconds longer or so.

After I've been walking in the space-suit, the fight with the Sith Elite Troopers is really bad, don't know why, but they were really hard to kill and I missed them alot!

Also my "team" messes things up when I'm entering the bridge, so I walk all of them up there manually, which I shouldn't have since they would stll be teleported there even if I didn't have them close, so I could've left them even before the fight with the Sith Elite Troopers to skip that battle and go ahead solo.

When I'm heading towards Command Deck Carth once again gets stuck and gets behind, costing me several seconds.

And once again, when going up the elevator, Bastilla is stuck in a fight and I have to get her manually, costing me additional seconds.

And finally, one more of Bastillas "getting stuck in a fight" stunts, when I'm in the large fight at the Command Deck.

The second fight with Darth Malak is knida messy, when I'm trying to run away to heal, I mess up a bit, and then I defeat him in one strike.

07 - Kashyyyk
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
On the way to Rwookrrorro, when I'm trying to avoid the Dark Jedi , they stun me, making me loose a few seconds.

When I'm supposed to kill Commander Dern, I accidently pick the wrong answer in the conversation with him, so I have to talk to him again.

After I've gotten the Star Map, I run with the camera 'backwards', to make sure that Jolee dosn't get stuck at places, I did about 20 runs where he got stuck in that area so i gave up, this is harder so I loose about 10 seconds or so here by not running the optimal path.
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
08 - Unknown Planet
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
The battle versus The One goes really sloppy, gotta figure out a way to get to him faster than this, but to still be able to escape from the base without fighting everyone on the way out.

When talking to the Elder Councillor I wasn't sure that I had asked to go into the temple so I talked to him again, took about 3 seconds longer.

Leaving the area with the Rakata Computer, my "team" once again messes shit up. So I have to wait for them to get to me.

Same story again almost, but this time it was partially my fault, when fighting a Sith Assault Droid, I clicked wrong and attacked a locked door, unleashing enemies within there, which takes time to defeat, and also my "team" get's stuck, about 1 minute lost here.
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
09 - Star Forge
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
Fight with Bastilla could've gone faster, if I decided to kill her earlier, but I wanted the cool Jedi-styled execution so it would look cooler.

The largest mistake in this video, was probably the fact that I was a couple of spikes short in the room with the Forge Droids. This results in me having to slaughter a couple of droids here so they will respawn, and leave a spike in the Spike Bin of the letter where they are from, I pick the first two spawning points for my killing, since they have a pretty low amount of health, and are easy to defeat.

Overall the battle with Darth Malak could've gone faster, but since a good speedrun would have to be lowlevel (unless you are using the level-up glitches), but over all everything goes almost perfect except I miss too much in the beginning.
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
10 - Ending
-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.-.,.
The only time-loss here would be the 2 seconds I lost by going in to my inventory and removing my armor, just for the fun of seeing the saviour of the galaxy walk around un the underwear for a bit, really, it's worth it.
